I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

I thought about going further but that's as far as you can legally go in Utah so I just went with that. Even though my windshield is tinted, I didn't want to draw any more attention.

Ya mine is about the same as "Roidz". I'm guessing it depends on state law. When they asked me the % I wanted the brow I said the darkest I can go that's legal and a guy there said he thought since it's just the strip that it didn't matter how dark it was in NC. So you could put a vinyl strip on the top if you wanted. My OCD wanted it at least as low as the bottom of the black part where the mirror is, but seeing how low it looks I'm fine with it being where it is.

Where did you see it? lol

The 1977 movie Close Encounters. LOL The scene where the UFO comes up behind Richard Dreyfuss at the R/R crossing. Awesome truck.

Finally got my gauge inside the custom pod. Waiting for the Z71 logo faceplate arrives.

Does it display anything else beside MPH and RPM? If not it just seems like its a little redundant to have a secondary rpm and mph readout.

it has well over 100 parameters that you can choose from. As I just got my gauge and still trying to figure it out those other parameters. ;)

That is pretty dang cool. Smart way to use space and it looks as if GM put it there. Good job!

Washed, clayed, and waxed. Switched the chrome mirror caps out with summit white ones earlier this week. Looks so much better.

 

In other news, if anyone wants chrome mirror caps, I'll sell you mine.

Installed a stainless steel Magnaflow exhaust tip. 2.75" inlet, 3.5" outlet, 12" long. Angled, rolled tip. Wish I could find one in black but nobody makes one!

 

Also bought some Husky Contour floor mats, front and rear. I just put them over the stock "All weather" GMC rubber mats. Fits pretty good, but I don't know if I should take the rubber mats off and just sell em. I also have the carpet mats that I don't know what to do with. Maybe put the carpet mats under husky's and sell the rubber mats.

 

Anyways, here are some pics. :)

Next step is to get rid of the chrome running boards and get some black ones. Maybe get colour matched mirror caps and door handles as well.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
